Definitions
- This invention relates to a polyol component P), to a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams by using said polyol component P) and also to the rigid polyurethane foams themselves.
- Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams are obtainable in a known manner by reacting organic polyisocyanates with one or more compounds having two or more reactive hydrogen atoms, preferably polyether and/or polyester alcohols (polyols), in the presence of blowing agents, catalysts and optionally auxiliaries and/or added-substance materials.
- the isocyanate-based production of rigid PU foams typically utilizes polyols having high functionalities and a low molecular weight in order to ensure a very high degree of crosslinking for the foams.
- the preferably employed polyether alcohols usually have a functionality of 4 to 8 and a hydroxyl number in the range between 300 to 600, in particular between 400 and 500 mg KOH/g. It is known that polyols having a very high functionality and hydroxyl numbers in the range between 300 and 600 mg KOH/g have a very high level of viscosity. It is further known that such polyols are comparatively polar and thus have poor solubility for customary blowing agents, in particular hydrocarbons such as pentanes, in particular cyclopentane. To remedy this defect, polyether alcohols having functionalities of 2 to 4 and hydroxyl numbers of 100 to 250 mg KOH/g are frequently added to the polyol component.
- EP-A 1 138 709 discloses how reaction mixtures comprising isocyanate and polyol are obtainable with high flowability provided the polyol component comprises at least one polyether alcohol having a hydroxyl number of 100 to 250 mg KOH/g and obtained by addition of alkylene oxides onto H-functional starter molecules having 2 to 4 active hydrogen atoms, in particular glycols, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythritol or vic-tolylenediamine (vic-TDA).
- EP 2 563 833 B1 describes a process for preparing polyurethanes, preferably foamed polyurethane materials, especially rigid polyurethane foams, by reaction of a) polyisocyanates with b) compounds having two or more isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms, characterized in that the compounds having two or more isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms b) comprise at least one polyether alcohol b1) obtained by reacting an aromatic amine b1a) with propylene oxide by using an amine b1b) other than b1a) as a catalyst, wherein the alkylene oxide used to prepare said polyether alcohol b1) comprises not only propylene oxide but also 0 to 10 wt %, based on the weight of the alkylene oxides, of ethylene oxide. This is said to provide polyurethane foams by use of polyols that combine a low viscosity of the liquid starting components with good processing properties.
- WO 2011/134866 A2 describes a process for preparing polyether alcohols by addition reaction of alkylene oxides onto H-functional starter compounds, especially onto aromatic amines.
- the problem addressed in WO 2011/134866 A2 was that of developing polyether alcohols on the basis of aromatic amines, especially TDA, where propylene oxide is essentially the only alkylene oxide used in the synthesis. More particularly, these polyether alcohols were to have a low viscosity and a low level of unconverted aromatic amines used as starter compounds. It was surprisingly found that the use of amine catalysts leads to the preparation of polyols on the basis of aromatic amines, especially TDA, that are low in viscosity and comprise but propylene oxide as alkylene oxide. Imidazole was an exemplified amine catalyst.
- the problem addressed by the present invention is that of providing highly functional polyols, especially sugar polyols, in order to generate rigid polyurethane foam systems that have improved properties. More particularly, the highly functional polyols are to provide improved demolding properties and consequently low postexpansion in the production of rigid polyurethane foams.
- a polyol component P comprising:
- the OH number (hydroxyl number) is quantifiable via commonplace methods.
- the OH number is quantifiable to DIN 53240 (1971-12) for example.
- the functionality of a polyether polyol is to be understood as meaning the number of hydrogen atoms per mol of starter compound, or per mol of the mixture of starter compounds, that are reactive with alkylene oxide as at the time before the time of the alkylene oxide feed.
- the time of the alkylene oxide feed is in turn the time of commencing the admixture of the alkylene oxide component to the starter compound(s).
- the computation takes account of all the alkylene oxide-reactive hydrogen atoms that are present in the starter mixture and are attached to starter compound(s).
- the computation is as follows for a mixture of two starter compounds (and must be correspondingly expanded for more components):
- a polyether polyol has a functionality of 5.12 when 626.48 mol of glycerol (functionality 3), 559.74 mol of sucrose (functionality 8) and 67.31 mol of dimethylethanolamine (functionality 1) are used.
- polyether polyols which is defined above for the purposes of the present invention, especially the functionality of invention polyether polyol A), can differ from the functionality after the reaction commencement, during the reaction of at least one alkylene oxide with a starter compound or of the reaction product because by-products such as glycols and unsaturated monofunctional constituents are formed during the reaction.
- the by-productive reactions are literature known.
- polyol component and “polyol” are used interchangeably for the purposes of the present invention.
- a polyol within the meaning of the present invention is an organic compound having one or more than one OH group. More particularly, a polyol within the meaning of the present invention may be an organic compound having from 1 to 20 OH groups.
- a polyol according to the present invention is preferably an organic compound having from 2 to 10 OH groups, especially from 2 to 8 OH groups.

The number average is quantified according to known methods, for example the method of viscosity measurement.

- the polyether polyols A) used according to the present invention are prepared by addition reaction of alkylene oxides onto compounds having two or more hydrogen atoms reactive with alkylene oxides—known herein as starter compounds or starters—by using a catalyst. This reaction is known per se to a person skilled in the art.
- the catalysts used for preparing the polyether polyols A) are usually basic compounds. They are usually the hydroxides of alkali metals, e.g., sodium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide or especially potassium hydroxide, in commercial scale processes.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a polyol component P), to a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams by using said polyol component P) and also to the rigid polyurethane foams themselves.
- Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams are obtainable in a known manner by reacting organic polyisocyanates with one or more compounds having two or more reactive hydrogen atoms, preferably polyether and/or polyester alcohols (polyols), in the presence of blowing agents, catalysts and optionally auxiliaries and/or added-substance materials.
- The isocyanate-based production of rigid PU foams typically utilizes polyols having high functionalities and a low molecular weight in order to ensure a very high degree of crosslinking for the foams. The preferably employed polyether alcohols usually have a functionality of 4 to 8 and a hydroxyl number in the range between 300 to 600, in particular between 400 and 500 mg KOH/g. It is known that polyols having a very high functionality and hydroxyl numbers in the range between 300 and 600 mg KOH/g have a very high level of viscosity. It is further known that such polyols are comparatively polar and thus have poor solubility for customary blowing agents, in particular hydrocarbons such as pentanes, in particular cyclopentane. To remedy this defect, polyether alcohols having functionalities of 2 to 4 and hydroxyl numbers of 100 to 250 mg KOH/g are frequently added to the polyol component.
- It is also known that the flowability (expressed by the flow factor FF=minimum fill density/free rise density of the reaction mixture comprising isocyanate and polyether alcohol) is not always satisfactory on use of polyol components based on high-functionality, polar polyols. But EP-A 1 138 709 discloses how reaction mixtures comprising isocyanate and polyol are obtainable with high flowability provided the polyol component comprises at least one polyether alcohol having a hydroxyl number of 100 to 250 mg KOH/g and obtained by addition of alkylene oxides onto H-functional starter molecules having 2 to 4 active hydrogen atoms, in particular glycols, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythritol or vic-tolylenediamine (vic-TDA).
- EP 2 563 833 B1 describes a process for preparing polyurethanes, preferably foamed polyurethane materials, especially rigid polyurethane foams, by reaction of a) polyisocyanates with b) compounds having two or more isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms, characterized in that the compounds having two or more isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms b) comprise at least one polyether alcohol b1) obtained by reacting an aromatic amine b1a) with propylene oxide by using an amine b1b) other than b1a) as a catalyst, wherein the alkylene oxide used to prepare said polyether alcohol b1) comprises not only propylene oxide but also 0 to 10 wt %, based on the weight of the alkylene oxides, of ethylene oxide. This is said to provide polyurethane foams by use of polyols that combine a low viscosity of the liquid starting components with good processing properties.
- WO 2011/134866 A2 describes a process for preparing polyether alcohols by addition reaction of alkylene oxides onto H-functional starter compounds, especially onto aromatic amines. The problem addressed in WO 2011/134866 A2 was that of developing polyether alcohols on the basis of aromatic amines, especially TDA, where propylene oxide is essentially the only alkylene oxide used in the synthesis. More particularly, these polyether alcohols were to have a low viscosity and a low level of unconverted aromatic amines used as starter compounds. It was surprisingly found that the use of amine catalysts leads to the preparation of polyols on the basis of aromatic amines, especially TDA, that are low in viscosity and comprise but propylene oxide as alkylene oxide. Imidazole was an exemplified amine catalyst.
- The use of rigid PU foams in the refrigeration sector turns on their demolding behavior. Good demolding behavior is characterized, for example, by as low as possible a postexpansion of the cured rigid PU foam. That is not yet adequately ensured by the prior art.
- The problem addressed by the present invention is that of providing highly functional polyols, especially sugar polyols, in order to generate rigid polyurethane foam systems that have improved properties. More particularly, the highly functional polyols are to provide improved demolding properties and consequently low postexpansion in the production of rigid polyurethane foams.
- The problem is solved by a polyol component P) comprising:
-
- a) at least one polyether polyol A) having a functionality in the range from 5.7 to 6.4 and an OH number in the range from 300 to 500 mg KOH/g, comprising units based on the monomers selected from the group consisting of

- b) at least one polyether polyol B) having a functionality in the range from 3.0 to 5.0 and an OH number in the range from 300 to 500 mg KOH/g, comprising units based on the monomers selected from the group consisting of
- bi) 2,3-, 3,4-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-tolylenediamine or mixtures thereof,
- bii) propylene oxide,
- or mixtures of bi) and bii),
- c) at least one polyether polyol C) having a functionality in the range from 3.0 to 5.0 or 2.8 to 3.0 and an OH number in the range from 100 to 290 mg KOH/g, comprising units based on the monomers selected from the group consisting of
- ci) amines comprising ethylenediamine, 1,3-propylenediamine, 1,3-, 1,4-butylenediamine, 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine, phenylenediamines, 2,3-, 3,4-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-tolylenediamine and 4,4′-, 2,4′-, 2,2′-diaminodiphenylmethane or mixtures thereof, polyols comprising glycerol, trimethylolpropane, monopropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol (2,2′-oxydi-1-propanol, 1,1′-oxydi-2-propanol, 2-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-1-propanol) or mixtures thereof,
- cii) alkylene oxides comprising ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof,
- or mixtures of ci) and cii).
- a) at least one polyether polyol A) having a functionality in the range from 5.7 to 6.4 and an OH number in the range from 300 to 500 mg KOH/g, comprising units based on the monomers selected from the group consisting of
- The problem is further solved by a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams by reaction of:
- I) organic or modified organic di- or polyisocyanates PI) or mixtures thereof with
- II) an invention polyol component P) whereto a blowing agent F) was added.
- The problem is likewise solved by a rigid polyurethane foam obtainable by the process of the invention and also by the use of polyol component P) of the invention in the production of rigid polyurethane foams.
- The problem is likewise solved by the use of the polyurethane foam obtained by the process of the invention for insulation and refrigeration applications.
- The OH number (hydroxyl number) is quantifiable via commonplace methods. The OH number is quantifiable to DIN 53240 (1971-12) for example.
- For the purposes of the present invention, the functionality of a polyether polyol, especially that of the invention polyether polyol A), is to be understood as meaning the number of hydrogen atoms per mol of starter compound, or per mol of the mixture of starter compounds, that are reactive with alkylene oxide as at the time before the time of the alkylene oxide feed. The time of the alkylene oxide feed is in turn the time of commencing the admixture of the alkylene oxide component to the starter compound(s). The computation takes account of all the alkylene oxide-reactive hydrogen atoms that are present in the starter mixture and are attached to starter compound(s).
- The functionality F within the meaning of the present invention is computed by the following formula:
-
- ni=mol of starter i
- fi=functionality of starter i
- m=number of starters in starter mix
- F=functionality
- As an example, the computation is as follows for a mixture of two starter compounds (and must be correspondingly expanded for more components):
-
F=(mol of starter compound A*functionality of starter compound A+mol of starter compound B*functionality of starter compound B)/(mol of starter A=mol of starter B) - For instance, a polyether polyol has a functionality of 5.12 when 626.48 mol of glycerol (functionality 3), 559.74 mol of sucrose (functionality 8) and 67.31 mol of dimethylethanolamine (functionality 1) are used.
- The functionality of polyether polyols which is defined above for the purposes of the present invention, especially the functionality of invention polyether polyol A), can differ from the functionality after the reaction commencement, during the reaction of at least one alkylene oxide with a starter compound or of the reaction product because by-products such as glycols and unsaturated monofunctional constituents are formed during the reaction. The by-productive reactions are literature known.
- The terms “polyol component” and “polyol” are used interchangeably for the purposes of the present invention. A polyol within the meaning of the present invention is an organic compound having one or more than one OH group. More particularly, a polyol within the meaning of the present invention may be an organic compound having from 1 to 20 OH groups. A polyol according to the present invention is preferably an organic compound having from 2 to 10 OH groups, especially from 2 to 8 OH groups.
- A polyether polyol within the meaning of the present invention may preferably be an organic compound having ether and OH groups as functional groups. More particularly, a polyether polyol may be a polymer having a number average polymer mass (Mn) in the range from 100 to 6000 g/mol, especially in the range from 200 to 6000 g/mol, preferably in the range from 300 to 2000 g/mol. The number average is quantified according to known methods, for example the method of viscosity measurement.

- The polyether polyols A), B) and C) according to the present invention are preferably different, while two versions are contemplated as preferable for component C). The polyether polyols A),

- The polyether polyols A) used according to the present invention are prepared by addition reaction of alkylene oxides onto compounds having two or more hydrogen atoms reactive with alkylene oxides—known herein as starter compounds or starters—by using a catalyst. This reaction is known per se to a person skilled in the art.
- The catalysts used for preparing the polyether polyols A) are usually basic compounds. They are usually the hydroxides of alkali metals, e.g., sodium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide or especially potassium hydroxide, in commercial scale processes. Similarly, alkali metal alkoxides, e.g., sodium methoxide, sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide or potassium isopropoxide, are known for use as catalysts. The preparation may likewise be effected under amine catalysis.

- The addition reaction of the alkylene oxides is preferably carried out at a temperature between 90 and 150° C. and a pressure between 0.1 to 8 bar.

This is typically followed by distillation to remove volatile constituents, preferably in vacuo.
- Especially with the use of solid starter compounds, for example sucrose, for preparing the invention polyether polyol A), but slow rates of metering are possible at the start of the process, since the alkylene oxide is but slow to dissolve in the reaction mixture and leads to slow rates of reaction. In addition, the high viscosity created by use of solid starter compounds in the starter mixture is responsible for a worse dissipation of heat. This can lead to local overheating, which has an adverse effect on product quality. The high viscosity moreover accelerates the wear of pumps and heat exchangers. Admixing at least one polyol to the starter mixture is a way to reduce the adverse effects. This is described in EP 2542612 for example. In some of the tests described, therefore, the mixtures of the starter compounds were admixed with polyetherols in order to reduce the viscosity of the starting mixture and provide better process control.

- The examples which follow provide further elucidation of the invention.
- Methods of Measurement:
- Measurement of Hydroxyl Number:
- Hydroxyl numbers were determined according to DIN 53240 (1971-12).
- Viscosity Determination:
- Unless otherwise stated, polyol viscosity was determined at 25° C. in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3219 (1994) using a Haaker Viscotester 550 with plate/cone measurement geometry (PK100) using the cone PK 1 1° (diameter: 28 mm; cone angle: 1°) at a shear rate of 40 1/s.
- Determination of Pentane Solubility:
- Good pentane solubility of the polyol component over a large temperature range, starting at a temperature as low as possible (>5° C.), is of great importance in the processing industry: it allows an assurance to be given of effective shelf life of the polyol component under different climatic conditions. To evaluate its pentane solubility (as the stability of the polyol component PC with blowing agent), polyol component P) is mixed (Vollrath stirrer, 1500 rpm, 2 min stirring time) with the amount which was reported in the examples for physical blowing agent F), and the mixture is poured into a screw-top jar which is then closed. Following complete escapage of gas bubbles, sample clarity is initially assessed at room temperature. If the sample is clear, it is subsequently cooled down in a water bath in increments of 1° C. and assessed for clarity 30 min after reaching the temperature setting.
- Determination of Demolding Behavior:
- A good demolding behavior is of the utmost interest in the processing industry, since processing times reduce as a result, based on the foam employed. This increases the productivity and allows the costs to be consequently reduced. Good demolding behavior is determined by the postexpansion of the cured rigid PU foam. Within the extremely short cure time of the components employed, minimal postexpansion within the mold is desirable, since it enables more rapid demolding. Demolding behavior is determined by measuring the postexpansion of foam bodies produced using a 700×400×90 mm box mold at a mold temperature of 45±2° C. as a function of demolding time and the degree of overpacking (OP, which corresponds to the ratio of overall apparent density/minimum fill density and describes the percentage extra amount of starting materials actually required for introduction in order just to fill the mold with a rigid PU foam). Postexpansion is determined by measuring the foam cuboids after 24 h.
- Minimum Fill Density for a Component Part/Free Rise Density:
- Minimum fill density is determined by importing just sufficient polyurethane reaction mixture into a mold measuring 2000×200×50 mm at a mold temperature of 45±2° C. to just fill the mold without touching the end of the mold. The length of the flow path was measured and the minimum fill density was calculated according to MFD=(m*L/(V*s)), wherein m=mass, L=length of the mold, s=flow path and V=volume of the mold. Free rise density is determined by allowing the foaming polyurethane reaction mixture to expand in a plastic bag at room temperature. The density is determined on a cube removed from the center of the foam-filled plastic bag.
- Determination of Flowability:
-
The flowability is reported in terms of the flow factor=(minimum fill density/free rise density). - Thermal Conductivity:
- Thermal conductivity was determined using a Taurus TCA300 DTX at a midpoint temperature of 10° C. To prepare the test specimens, the polyurethane reaction mixture was imported into a 2000×200×50 mm mold with 15% overpacking and demolded 5 min later. After aging for 24 hours under standard conditions, several foam cuboids (at positions 10, 900 and 1700 mm on the lower end of the Brett molding) measuring 200×200×50 mm are cut out of the center. The top and bottom sides were then removed to obtain test specimens measuring 200×200×30 mm.
- Compressive Strength:
- Compressive strength was determined according to DIN ISO 844 EN DE (2014-11).
- Preparation of Polyether Polyols A)
- Polyether polyol A (in accordance with the present invention)
- Starting Materials:
- Especially with the use of solid starter compounds, for example sucrose, but slow rates of metering are possible at the start of the process, since the alkylene oxide is but slow to dissolve in the reaction mixture and leads to slow rates of reaction. In addition, the high viscosity created by use of solid starter compounds in the starter mixture is responsible for a worse dissipation of heat. This can lead to local overheating, which has an adverse effect on product quality. The high viscosity moreover accelerates the wear of pumps and heat exchangers. Admixing a polyol to the starter mixture is a way to reduce the adverse effects. This is described in EP 2542612 for example. In some of the tests described, therefore, the mixtures of the starter compounds were admixed with polyetherols in order to reduce the viscosity of the starting mixture and provide better process control. Two polyetherols are preferably used: polyol H is an imidazole sucrose/glycerol-started catalyzed propoxylate having a molar mass of 488 g/mol and a functionality of 4.3; polyol I is catalyzed sucrose/glycerol-started with a molecular weight of 639 g/mol and a functionality of 5.1.
- With the use of tolylenediamine (TDA), all the isomers are usable alone or in any desired mixtures with each or one another. Especially 2,4-TDA, 2,6-TDA, mixtures of 2,4-TDA and 2,6-TDA, 2,3-TDA, 3,4-TDA, mixtures of 3,4-TDA and 2,3-TDA and also mixtures of all the isomers referred to are employable. 2,3-TDA and 3,4-TDA are often also referred to as ortho-TDA or as vicinal TDA. The TDA may be exclusively vicinal TDA. In one particularly preferred embodiment of the process according to the present invention, the TDA is >85%, preferably >90%, more preferably >95% and especially not less than 99 wt %, all based on the weight of TDA, vicinal TDA.

Then, the reactor was inertized once more and the temperature was raised to 130° C. and a mixture of 65.0 kg of propylene oxide and 74.1 kg of ethylene oxide was metered in. Following a reaction of 1.5 h, the temperature was lowered to 100° C. and 3.7 kg of dimethylethanolamine were added. The intermediate product was reacted with a further 262.7 kg of propylene oxide. The postreaction ran for 2.5 hours at 100° C. to obtain 506.1 kg of product having the following parameters:
-
OH number 405 mg KOH/g Viscosity 11 940 mPas - Polyether Polyol C:
- The reactor described under polyether polyol A was charged with 32.24 kg of vicinal tolylenediamine and repeatedly inertized. The temperature was raised to 130° C. and the mixture was at that temperature admixed with 32.36 kg of a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (1.97 kg of EO, 30.39 kg of PO). Following a reaction of 2 h, 0.652 kg of 50% aqueous KOH solution (mass percent) was admixed. This was followed by a vacuum phase of 1 h and the subsequent metered addition at 130° C. of 344.75 kg of a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (20.99 kg of ethylene oxide, 323.76 kg of propylene oxide). Following a reaction of 3 h, the sample was stripped off in a nitrogen stream to obtain 380 kg of a product having the following parameters:
-
OH number 160 mg KOH/g Viscosity 650 mPas - Polyether Polyol C1:
- The reactor described under polyether polyol A was filled with 36.80 kg of glycerol and 3925 g of 50% aqueous KOH solution (mass percent). The temperature was then raised to 130° C. and a starter drying at 10 mbar was carried out for 2 h. This was followed by the metered addition of 361.90 kg of propylene oxide at 130° C. Following a reaction of 3 h, the sample was stripped off in a nitrogen stream to obtain 378 kg of a product having the following parameters:
-
OH number 172 mg KOH/g Viscosity 270 mPas - Catalyst Mixture D):
- Catalyst mixture D) consisting of:
- Catalyst D1): dimethylcyclohexylamine
- Catalyst D2): pentamethyldiethylenetriamine or bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether
- Catalyst D3): tris(dimethylaminopropyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine
- Catalyst D4): dimethylbenzylamine
- Stabilizer E):
- Silicone-containing foam stabilizer, Tegostab® B8474 and/or Tegostab® B8491 from Evonik
- Isocyanate:
- Polymer MDI having an NCO content of 31.5 wt % (Lupranat® M20)
- The aforementioned raw materials were used to prepare a polyol component (all particulars in wt %) which was mixed with a physical blowing agent before foaming. A PU 30/80 IQ high pressure Puromat® (Elastogran GmbH) operating at an output rate of 250 g/s was used to mix the polyol component, which had been admixed with the physical blowing agent, with the requisite amount of the reported isocyanate to obtain an isocyanate index (unless otherwise stated) of 119.
- The reaction mixture was injected into molds temperature regulated to 40° C. and measuring 2000 mm×200 mm×50 mm and/or 400 mm×700 mm×90 mm and allowed to foam up therein. Overpacking was 17.5%, i.e., 17.5% more reaction mixture than needed to completely foam out the mold was used.
- Table 1 shows the measured results for the particular composition of the polyol component P) (=PC; particulars in wt %) and the foams resulting therefrom. The amount of physical blowing agent (cyclopentane) is reported in parts by weight added to 100 parts by weight of the polyol component.
- Polyol in accordance with the present invention thus provides better (i.e., smaller) postexpansion and better compressive strength. Polyols AV2, AV3 and BV1 cannot be used because the pentane compatibility is >20° C. and the viscosities are >>11 000 mPas. Adequate industrial processing, however, requires good pentane compatibilities at 10° C. at least, and max. 11 000 mPas at 20° C. is considered to be the technical limit for cabinet formulations. Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 demonstrate formulations specifically for cavity foam filling of doors. Comparative Example 5 shows the use of a polyol BV1 which is prepared starting from vicinal tolylenediamine and which contains both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units. Finally, it is clear from table 1 that the polyol which is in accordance with the invention (polyol component P) delivers better postexpansion (that is, reduced postexpansion of the cured rigid PU foams after 24 h) and leads to better compressive strengths. It is also evident from Comparative Example 5, moreover, that the use of a defined functionality range of polyol A in combination with polyol B results in the desired properties. If, in fact, polyol A is combined with an analogous polyol, polyol BV1, which contains both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units, then it is not possible to achieve improved demolding behavior.
